Alopecia Areata (AA) is a skin restricted autoimmune disease of the hair follicle, resulting in hair loss of the scalp, and in severe cases of the entire body. AA is the second most common cause of alopecia in childhood; no FDA-approved treatments exist. The use of focused narrow-band ultraviolet-B light via the excimer laser is a common treatment for many skin diseases in patients of all ages. In this study, the feasibility of the 308-nm excimer laser for treatment of patch type AA of the scalp will be examined. We anticipate the excimer laser will be safe and a feasible option for patients with patch type AA. The excimer laser may represent a novel treatment for childhood AA and no comparison or large studies currently exist in the literature.
